Santiago Nieto vs. Gertz Manero
It seems like there is a feud between the Financial Intelligence Unit and the Attorney General’s Office , regarding the Autonomous University of Hidalgo and its transfers worth millions, which according to U.S. authorities, are linked to drug cartels. Yesterday, a spokesperson for the FGR said this case “was torn down by a federal tribunal thanks to the lies of the UIF .” On the other hand, the UIF said it’s not true that the trial is lost and says it continues and that the main investigation against the university is carried out by the UIF. The government department led by Santiago Nieto added that the university's bank accounts are still blocked. The thing is both institutions are accusing each other of lying.
